Growth

Building a diverse pipeline of talent and ensuring our professionals have equitable access to opportunities, information, leadership, and success.
Pipeline & Recruiting
In addition to our Pre-Law Diversity Fellowship and 1L Diversity Scholarship Programs, we have historically participated in several external programs focused on developing the pipeline of talent including: the Gregoire Fellows Program, the Federal Communications Bar Association Diversity Pipeline Program, the Law in Technology Diversity Program, the LCLD 1L Scholars Program and the NYC Bar Diversity Fellowship Program. We also recruit from Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), directly connect with various student affinity organizations and participate in career fairs for both law students and lawyers.
Mentorship & Sponsorship

Effective sponsorship and mentorship helps develop talent, facilitates professional development, and enhances the quality of legal representation that we provide to our clients. Many of our lawyers share their, experience, and expertise through our formal sponsorship and mentorship programs. This includes our sponsorship program, which pairs mid-and-senior levels associates with partners in a formalized sponsorship program meant to support advancement into partnership; our partner mentor program, which pairs associates with more experienced attorneys for advice and guidance; our client cross-mentoring program that matches associates with in-house counsel mentors; and our peer liaison program, which matches lateral associates with peers to help with integration.

Practice Group DEI Committees
Our practice groups are where key decisions are made about recruiting, advancement, and promotion. Our Practice Group DEI Committees help offer a DEI lens, facilitating communication within the group, addressing concerns, and sharing critical information. The committees help develop and deploy efforts within each practice group to ensure equitable access to opportunities, improve integration, and support talent management, with the objective of helping all lawyers advance their careers and contribute to the success of their practice groups.
